I love cockpit but it is very basic and not really a glass pane solution. You can add multiple hosts but you can only view them one at a time. I personally like it because of the 3rd party zfs and filesharing addons made by 45drives. The logs work great on distributions that natively come packaged with cockpit like fedora or rocky linux but not so great on debian. All in all if all you need is just a basic web gui to manage basic things then cockpit is perfect.

I have some Linux experience but even I run cockpit due to the ease of being able to gather info and running updates easily. In my situation unless I have to make a change I really have no need to interact with the server so it's perfect in my usecase.
